32 Eu não vim para chamar os justos, mas sim, os pecadores, ao arrependimento.

33 Então eles lhe disseram: Por que os discípulos de João jejuam muitas vezes, e fazem orações, como também os dos fariseus, mas os teus comem e bebem?

34 Mas ele lhes disse: Podeis vós fazer jejuar os convidados do casamento, enquanto o noivo está com eles?

35 Porém virão dias em que o esposo lhes será tirado; então naqueles dias jejuarão.
